> Well honestly i think there are no particular miracle foods - just eating a well balanced diet with minimum of industrial food. There are so many micronutrients in food even beyond vitamins & minerals, and each food has its own unique mix. WE have only identified a few chemicals (EGCG, lycopene, folates, phosphatydylcholine, trimethylglycine, yada yada yada) that i don't think we know yet which are the best foods, and really the mix of a variety probably is synergistic. So getting 8-10 servings of fruit and vegetables, bit of whole grain and some lean meat, nuts/olive oil/eggs/legumes, yoghurt, tea, wine, etc.

And by the way, are you torturing me on purpose? I'm on the "old Diet" as per PDoc, no nuts, bananas (how I miss those peels), no wine, yogurt, or tea. Cheese puffs and Cola are def off the list.
I'll try to stay out of the ceareal isle and make friends with the produce section. Thanks!
